Make bingo cards with progressive verb tenses and place a star in the middle. Give every student a bingo card and hold up a picture that acts out a verb. After students find the verb on their card, have one class member make up a sentence using the verb to further practice progressive verbs. The first student to find five in a row wins the game. This bingo game can also be used to practice other verb tenses.
Memory Game
Give every student an action verb. Have at least three fewer verbs than students and pair those students without a verb with a partner who has a verb. With students sitting in the order in which they will play, have the first group stand up and use its verb in the present progressive tense such as, "We are eating." The next player should stand and say what the first group is doing and then what he is doing like, "They are eating. I am talking." Each student continues repeating, in order, what the students before have done and then adds his action at the end. Watch carefully that every student uses the progressive verb tense, and allow the students to add actions to help their classmates remember all the verbs used. For advanced students, use other tenses, such as past progressive forms or future perfect progressive forms (will have been), to practice progressive verbs.
Newscaster Game
Put either random video clips or still pictures on a wall or screen in your classroom. Have students come up one at a time and pretend to be a newscaster reporting on the scene behind them. Award points for using the progressive verb tense and being imaginative. If possible, show a recent news clip of the weather or news that showcases the progressive tense. After students come up to do their version of the news in the progressive verb tense, vote on who was best
